James Furlong has joined Hull City in a permanent deal, for undisclosed terms.
The Republic of Ireland under-21 international joined our academy from Shamrock Rovers in 2019 before making his first-team debut last season in the 3-0 Carabao Cup victory over Forest Green Rovers.
Technical director David Weir said, “James had a good loan spell with Motherwell last season and now he’s ready to play men’s football regularly.
“We’ve been really pleased with the way he has progressed and it’s great to see a product of our academy get the opportunity to prove themselves in the Championship.
“We wish him the best of luck for the future.”
The defender spent the second half of last season on loan at Motherwell, where he made 11 appearances.
